“So beautiful, tell me about yourself,” I said, hoping to steer the conversation down a lighter path.“Why?”I laughed. “Why not?”“Don’t you think I’m a little old for you?”I smiled. “I don’t discriminate when it comes to beautiful women.”She laughed. “I’m sure you don’t.”“So, tell me something.”“Look, Sean, you’re sweet, but…”I clutched my chest and doubled over feigning pain. “Sweet? Sweet is the kiss of death,” I said.“What?”“No guy wants to be sweet. Hot, sure. Sexy, definitely. Ruggedly handsome, well that’s a given, but sweet is just female code for I’m never gonna sleep with you.”“That’s not what I meant,” she said.I raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer. “Oh, so you do want to sleep with me?”“What? No!” She leaned away from me, so flustered that her cheeks turned fourteen different shades of red. She covered her face with her hands and I laughed, taking a hold of her wrists to pull her hands away. Her blush and that shyness was sexy as hell. She seemed so reserved and quiet, but every once in a while, especially when provoked, this witty, sassy side came out and it made me want more.“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” I said. “A lot of women want to sleep with me.”
